Oh my... poor ignorant.

This is a discussion on Oh my... poor ignorant. within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; That fellow has had his share of problems in addition to guns. What about "The man my mother was living with"? ? Did that experience ...

The man his mother was living with sat on the porch with a handgun waiting for trouble. Norm's only contact with a gun scared him to death. So it's only natural that he wants to abolish the 2A and forbid millions of law abiding citizens from protecting themselves and owning guns. Norm's a moron!!!

It seems to me from his blog that he's the attorney representing the guy who murdered the other guy. So all he's doing is setting up a defense - my poor client isn't to blame; it's the evil gun that thrust itself into his hands and then maliciously fired a lethal bullet into the head of the victim... oh yeah, and he had eaten a lot of Twinkies.

I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. --- Will Rogers --- Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."

"I got in my share of fistfights as a kid, and I’ve been angry enough to kill on more than one occasion. But, to date, I’ve never shot at another human being. I expect to die without ever having fired a shot in anger."

I think this was a very telling part of his story. He can't control his own anger, so he assumes we won't be able to either. His fear that a gun will make him do something bad, turns into his "knowledge" that guns will cause others to do bad things to. It is his own inadequacies that drive his fear of the 2A, not any rational evaluation of facts and reality.
